Hi, everyone!

We have some exciting news to share with you today. After many months of hard work and very successful closed alpha testing, we are ready to share that Stormgate will enter closed beta testing this December!

This means that we are ready to begin testing our three-player co-op vs. AI mode, which we like to call 3vE, and feel good enough about the core gameplay and underlying systems and technology to go from alpha to beta testing. The added good news for those of you who have been waiting to get in is that this also means we’ll be inviting many more playtesters.

However, this does not mean that we are nearly done with the game. Far from it. We are still quite a ways away from being “done.” Beta for our game means something different than it would for a box product–after all, we plan to regularly update Stormgate with new features and content for years to come. For us, the beta tag means that our technological infrastructure is in a great place, ...

Stormgate is designed to be noob friendly which means you can't die early game, there are no perma cloak units, everything is slower so it's not possible to turn games around in an instant, etc.

Just watch WC3 - it's very boring in my opinion compared to watching SC2 as there is much less variability, upsets, etc.

I must have missed the memo because I sure have been able to die early on...

Frost Giant spun off from Blizzard after it was clear they weren’t interested in doing any more RTS. So all the Blizzard RTS developers went to Frost Giant. If Microsoft or whatever does SC3, it won’t be the same people making it.

Frost Giant is currently making Stormgate, which is a new IP that’s basically Starcraft 3.

We’re creating our own new universe with Stormgate. While our game will feel familiar to fans of Blizzard RTS, it’s going to be its own thing—we’re not trying to make “StarCraft 3 at home.”

I'd say there's a high chance, but not anytime soon. A lot of the blizzard employees who created SC2 and wanted to create new RTS games left for companies like Frost Giant (Stormgate) and Dreamhaven (though I don't believe they've announced a game yet).

Hey, Gerald at Frost Giant here—DreamHaven is a partner of ours and you’re correct in that they haven’t announced a game yet. Stormgate has been in closed alpha testing and development is going well! We’re eager to get it into more players’ hands soon.

Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to the Dune unit.

Most people haven’t gotten to play yet—less than 1-in-20 signups have received alpha invites.

Chromosphere is the testing phase going on now. Our next phase, which will welcome many new testers, is codenamed Devastator. Invites will go out before the end of the year. I’m sorry that I can’t get more specific than that at this time.

Anyway we've seen them be repaired before so we know they're robots for sure.

Can verify that the above is true!

With the insane ammount of big releases that keep marketing the next revolutionary product only to come out boring, unplayable or greedy, or all of the above - people are just sick of being lied to.

On the surface, Stormgate looks about as perfect as it can be. F2P with no p2w, single player, pvp and coop,hand-crafted engine to manage things that RTS games need which not many other games require, thus it not existing in many "off the shelf" engines, a comprehensive editor for player generated content...
If that's all true, it's going to easily be one of the best modern RTSes out there...

But that's just the thing - ...
